 Wait, what the gently caress is Wrath & Glory? Wrath & Glory is the spiritual successor to Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay. While sharing the same broad setting, W&G uses a completely different core ruleset. It's also developed by a new company. What is Warhammer 40,000? Warhammer 40,000, or 40k, is a fictional future created by Games Workshop. Set in the 41st millenium... actually, just watch this video. How does it work? The simplest actions a player might choose to perform are governed by tests. To make a test, players must roll a number of dice and compare the number of "hits" on these dice to a Difficulty Number (determined by the GM). Scoring enough hits means you succeed. Why play it? What makes this game worth playing is undoubtedly the setting. The trademark grimdarkness combined with the ability to not take itself seriously creates completely ridiculous situations. Plus there’s space orks. What's new in Wrath & Glory? First of all, the setting is up-to-date with what's been happening at Games Workshop. The Great Rift has torn the galaxy in two, and the Imperium Nihilus struggles on without guidance from Terra. Primaris Space Marines have been added as playable characters. The second most important change is a tiered play system. This allows for more freedom in character creation whilst also ensuring that characters remain balanced within a tier. Lower tiered characters can be ascended through gameplay or at character creation to make a higher tier character. The core mechanics are now drastically changed, too. Gone are the days of d100 rolls, for better or worse. Now pools of d6 dice will rule your table, perhaps making the game more accessible. The title of the game, Wrath & Glory is more than just a name, as well. Wrath and Glory are both narrative resources that players can draw on to represent bravery, exceptional skill or dumb luck, similar to Fate from previous games. However, they each occupy different roles within the game.  Dark Heresy Second Edition is the last addition to the Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay stable. Players take on the roles of Inquisitorial Acolytes, standing at the front line of a great and secret war to root out threats that imperil all of humanity. While it shares the same core mechanics of the other games, it is radically different from the first edition in some respects.

Working on the edges of Imperial space and law, Rogue Traders seek out fame and fortune, discovering new worlds and hidden treasures. Players are given command of their own space-faring vessel, adding age of sail-style ship-to-ship combat to the game. The open-ended style allows players to pursue their own goals in their own way, while the setting offers what is essentially space pirates.

Compared to Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader, Deathwatch offers a little less in variety but makes up for this with sheer badassery. Stomping around in power armour, wielding weapons usually found on tanks and slaughtering endless waves of xenos scum with reckless abandon has its own charm.

Released in 2011, Black Crusade is the only game to allow players to play as a disciple of Chaos. The career progression of earlier games is done away with; instead, players choose one of eight character archetypes. Advancement is then dictated by alignment to a particular Chaos god. The ultimate goal of the character is to reach apotheosis and be transformed into a daemon prince. Failure means you’ll end up as a mindless chaos spawn instead. Fantasy Flight have tweaked just about every part of the mechanics, making the game interesting and new without being too foreign. On the flipside, Black Crusade looks like it may suffer from in-party backstabbing, if not run well.

Advancement is free-form, like Black Crusade, although advancement costs are determined by Aptitudes instead of alignment. Another innovation is the addition of Comrades, NPCs that can assist the player in small ways.

It was originally scheduled for Spring 2011. I've had my Amazon pre-order delayed from June 2011 to July 2012 Still no updates on the FFG website about it, either. I think they probably have just been diverting staff to deal with BC or something like that, so it keeps pushing things back. The Arbites book was 3-6 months behind schedule as well, I think.

My usual group is pushing me to run either Dark Heresy or Black Crusade. Given that one of the players wants Black Crusade so they can play a half-daemon, I'm leaning to Dark Heresy. Any suggestions for running either? I've heard the combat is brutal and unforgiving, and if you have a group that tends to rush into things they will all likely die.

Not that you can't change it to suit your needs but a half-daemon isn't a thing in 40k, so if you are gonna change it, you can run it in whichever you want. Black Crusade is the newest one so has the rule set that has had most playtesting time, so you might as well use that.

Being the newer game, Black Crusade is more polished, and I personally like the idea of an open advancement system. Having said that, BC games are pretty much Chaotic Evil and so carry the dangers of running such a game. To me, Dark Heresy seems to be the most straightforward of the four. As to the brutal combat thing, it is true to an extent, although remember that players can always burn a fate point to survive. Just give them a strong message if they get a bit too gun-happy. Of course, if they end up in power armour, they can get away with this kind of behaviour.

Black Crusade is a great system. It's much more polished than Dark Heresy, and the open advancement system lets players create an incredibly wide range of characters. I wouldn't play it totally in line with the standard scenario if I didn't want an evil game. You can use the system to play a group of freedom fighters trying to take down the Imperium, and actually avoid corruption points, mutations, and becoming aligned. I'm working on a game like that with a Raven Guard SM, Ordo-Xenos Inquisitor, Black Ship Pilot, Explorator and Sister of Battle who get hosed over by various means and escape to the Screaming Vortex with the intentions of dismantling the Empire. It's not very hard to frame the Imperium as something really, really lovely. Of course, this also makes the inevitable descent into Chaos all the more fluid. Infamy can't be won without braving the perils of the Warp in a place like that. Commissar Budgie fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Feb 7, 2012 |

The combat is brutal, and honestly you don't do the IP justice if you softball it too much. When you are running something, you will probably have a number of fights over a few sessions until you end in the confrontation with the big bad. The players should have enough Fate Points to cover them for any potential fatalities that may happen here. However during the end sequence for your arc do not hesitate to kill someone here. (Though you may want to potentially postpone it for the right moment.) You can then have the unfortunate soul roll out a new character at the appropriate XP level for the next game and the start of the next arc. Purge the Unclean is a excellent group of starting modules if you are looking for pre-generated stuff.

However you feel  as gently caress when you win.Nothing like fighting a Renegade Astartes with a mutated blade arm or Ork MegaNob with a power klaw in melee combat, knowing that even one hit from them will probably gently caress you up into criticals. Ag51+Dodge+20 and Refractor field dont' fail me now, these are the fights I live for.  And then the Renegade Space Marine pulls off an expertly rolled disarm and yanks the Thunderhammer out of your hand.  Besides, who hasn't lost a limb to the crackling arc of an Eldar Banshee Exarch's power glaive?  I love Rogue Trader.

In our Black Crusade game that evolved out of a Dark Heresy campaign, our ex-Battle Sister originally turned on the Imperium (well okay at first she was just a fugitive, but then she came around to crime and now Chaos). Towards the end of her training, they discovered latent psychic ability and tortured the hell out of her before our ragtag band rescued her in transit.

everyone posted:Sisters of Battle The campaign isn't starting off as a game against the Imperium, but the players have expressed to me OOCly that it's the kind of game that they want to play. Of course, a Sister of Battle isn't going to up and turn heretical, but it's a progression that's going to be played out. In short, these individual characters' personal goals and ambitions are going to lead them to reach the conclusion that the Imperium is holding back mankind as a whole. I have faith that the player will be able to roleplay a Sister of Battle falling to Chaos well enough, especially one that has been marked a heretic.

Zereth posted:I'm pretty sure bits of the Imperium turn on each other without Chaos being involved all the time. Two groups disagree on what the proper loyal course is in a situation, and welp. Rogue Traders for example. I've got at least 3 other Rogue Traders that would love to see me dead, and only one of them I think is dabbling with the Ruinous powers. One might've been a slaugth though, or that might've been just an impersonator and the real one is back in Calixis. Speaking of the Slaugth, my GM was a bastard and introduced them as a big custom complication to the Frozen Reaches published adventure. They've caused us no end of trouble and have nearly killed pretty much every party member at least once. I loving LOVE IT. I am a pretty knowledgeable 40k guy, and I find it delicious to have an enemy that definitely feels 40k, but that I have absolutely no clue what its capabilities are, in character or out of character. I have no idea how much my GM is getting from the supplements (I usually don't read them, unless its full of toys for me) and how much he is making up.  Every single encounter with theses things has been to the max.Corrosive maggot xenos with completely unknown but undoubtedly sinister motives that can impersonate humans, just touching them is deadly, and they apparently have energy weapons capable of disintegrating the majority of my Engineseer Prime's massive armored torso in a single blast (he's stuck his brain box onto his combat servitor until he can restore his body). I have no idea what the gently caress these things want or what they're capable of, they scare the poo poo out of me in combat, and I loving love it.

I'm gonna resurrect the Dark Heresy game I ran for my brother and a mutual friend of ours. Last time, their two Guardsmen stormed a shitload of heretics and somehow seized a heavily fortified position against all odds, winning great glory and severely frustrating the Commissar who'd sent them on what he'd intended to be a suicide mission. Next, I want to run them through a Doom-esque blood'n'guts gunslinging dungeon crawl. I'm going to have them scouting the bowels of a Chaos-held manufactorum, initially facing lovely cultists, then somewhat more skilled and determined ones, and eventually actual Warp-twisted Serious poo poo. I'm thinking of putting a corrupted techpriest in as the boss, but I can't decide whether I should give him psychic powers, beefy armour and weapons, lots of minions, or some combination of the three. What would make a serious, but surmountable, challenge for two psychotically aggressive and unusually lucky Guardsmen? S.J. posted:I'm trying to think of a way to say Imperium!, kind of like 'Murica! but I'm having troubles coming up with ideas. 'Perium! sounds okay. I've seen "fer tha Emprah!" thrown around in chat a couple of times. I think it came from 4chan or something, but it does seem to carry that jingoistic redneck vibe and it actually fits the setting rather aptly. You can just see a Guardsman from some inbred backwater drawling it out as he brandishes his bayonet. You could also contract "the Imperium" to "th'mperium" in a sort of mushy slur to get the same effect. Angry Diplomat fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Feb 7, 2012 |

S.J. posted:Hell yeah! AD's 'Emprah' is probably the best bet - it does come via /tg/, but it's originally from Indrick Boreale's exhortions to follow 'the Emprah' in Dawn of War - Soulstorm (around :45-ish). It's probably better than a variant on 'the Imperium', since you can slur the end of 'Emperor' into a wordless scream/battlecry much more effectively.

Especially if I store some spares in my Guncutter poo poo yeah it is! My Techno-Arch-Militant cyborg had a heavy bolter and the Explorator carried an extra drum magazine for him under the idea that so long as the Mechanicus-friendly heavy bolter was firing, any Mechanicus was safe.

I'm actually running a game of Deathwatch this weekend for some friends. So far, the kill team is compromised of a Blood Angels Apothecary/ Sanguinary Priest, a Space Wolf Assault Marine, an Ultramarines Tactical marine, and possibly a Salamander Librarian. I'll have to make a synopsis to post here unless the little weeaboos find some way to weasel out of the game. If that's the case, I might try to setup one via IRC instead.

With the new thread, I got the combat sheet I mentioned! It's two pages, but the second page is newer than the sheets I have printed. Download Here.
